DC Comic movies have been failing me. I haven't seen a good movie
from DC Comics since The Dark Knight. So please forgive me if I was a little
less than excited when I watched the trailer for this Wonder Woman film. I
wasn't as impressed by the trailer as most. Although as a child I was a huge
fan of Wonder Woman TV series. I guess I was afraid to get my hopes up again
only to leave the theater more than disappointed. I wasn't sure what to expect,
but I was confident DC Comics would find some way to mess it up...ijs...
I am happy to say I was more
than wrong about this film. It has a running time of well over 2hrs, but I
could have sat and watched forever. First off let's give a round of applause to
Gal Gadot who held down our favorite Goddess Diana Prince. Gadot was beautiful,
funny, and had such great screen presence. Her action sequences were amazing
and she didn't miss a step. It was a visually pleasing spectacle, as were most
of the action scenes in this film, especially the scene with the Amazons on the
beach. Was I the only one who got goosebumps and chills from that scene? All of
those powerful women doing their thing was a beautiful sight to see. We don't
see women play enough roles like these. Women were standing out on their own
instead of being the visual beauty next to a man. I found this film to be very
empowering for women.
I enjoyed the story, and also
the chemistry between Gadot and Pine. They were fun and adorable. There are
also a number of other interesting characters that keeps this film filled with
entertaining and filled with excitement. I admit the film kind of started to
fizzle at the end, but only slightly. The rest of the film packs so much power,
you won't even notice.
DC Comics got this one right.
This visual effects were amazing and would recommend catching them on a premium
screen if possible. This film packs so much power, and Gadot did the Wonder
Woman of old justice. I'm looking forward to more films in this franchise, but
for now, just go see this one...A+
